Universal Designs Benefit Every Bathroom User

Many people are finding themselves in need to accommodate their home due to using a wheelchair and other mobility aid products. There are over 30 million Americans that use wheelchairs, and these numbers are only increasing. While each part of your home requires there to be specific safety add-ons for wheelchair users, one of the most concerning areas is the bathroom. Bathroom safety should be addressed carefully due to the many hazardous areas. Falls in the bathroom can be due to small spaces to maneuver, slippery floors, and bending and lifting. The ultimate goal that you should consider when redesigning and adding products to your bathroom is that is should be a safe space for not only the wheelchair user, but for everyone. A universal design can better accommodate wheelchair users and can also make the bathroom a much more comfortable space for every user. This can be done without the need to sacrifice style and aesthetics too.

Bathroom Fixture

Tips Using a rolling shower seat or a fixed shower seat can accommodate mobility-impaired users. Shower seats should be set at the height around 17” to about 19”. Curbless showers are also ideal for people that use a wheelchair and can also be used by anybody without sacrificing space. You can also consider installing grab bars in all bathing areas that can be located on the sidewall at standing or sitting range. Try and coordinate the controls to be near the grab bars if possible.
